About Charles Giammona

<h1><a href="http://charlesgiammona.20six.co.uk/" title="Phd. Charles P. Giammona">Charles Giammona</a></h1> I. INTRODUCTION Community colleges are a vital part of the larger higher education community in the United States and increasingly around the world. The more than 1,100 U.S. community colleges—not to mention the hundreds of like institutions internationally—have evolved into dynamic, comprehensive institutions that are often known for their resourcefulness in using any available tool or technique to improve and expand learning [1], [2], [3], [4]. From the early days of correspondence courses to the “colleges without walls” movement of the 1970s and 1980s, community college educators have demonstrated a commitment to extending the reach of education in their continuing efforts to make a difference for students and communities. <h2><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/charles/giammona" title="Dr. Charles P Giammona">About Charles P.

Faculty

Faculty recruitment continues to remain a challenge. This summer, 98 FTE of permanent nursing faculty positions were being recruited by colleges and universities in the MnSCU system, the University of Minnesota and in the Private Colleges within the state. This is a three fold demand for nurse educators in the state over the typical prior three years. Attention will have to be given to some of the highest shortage areas which include recruiting faculty to the maternal-child and the psych-mental health areas of expertise for the AS-RN program. This is essential for the Minnesota Board of Nursing approval and eventually NLNAC accreditation.

Potential for expansion of current partnership with Indian OIC (Occupational Industrialization Center) to include construction and manufacturing.

<a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/tag/charles-giammona" title="Dr Charles Giammona">Charles Giammona</h3></a> Our founders set out in 1965 to create a public educational institution, building on the brainpower and enthusiasm of young faculty and staff coming from the region, ready to build future technical minds as they had built regional socio-economic infrastructure. Recently, their vision and our rising profile were reflected in various media events about the campus such that we are considered a “Hot Technological School”—despite the winters here!

As exciting as this latest exposure may be, it only reflects the tip of the iceberg. Underlying it are major qualitative and quantitative changes that have occurred throughout the college over these last years. In short, we are better than we were even five years ago–from the quality and achievements of our learners, to the creative productivity of the faculty, to the strength and breadth of our supporting infrastructure–both human and technological. These changes are in addition to the college’s physical transformation, encompassing new and renovated facilities that not only enhance our instruction and outreach capabilities, but also strengthen our sense of community.
